ROTHERHAM

I have been to Rotherham perhaps twice in my life. I used to
go to neighbouring Sheffield a lot, we did numerous projects there, but almost
nothing in Rotherham apart from Magna. Its a former steel town, like Sheffield
and according to the Council website they cast iron there as far back as Roman
times.

Now of course, if you mention Rotherham to any adult in the UK
they immediately think, Child Abuse.

Recently, I read an article which said that the child abuse by
Asian men wasn’t racial. It wasn’t Asian men preying upon young white girls for
sex.

Never heard that argument before.

What the writer was saying effectively was that it was more
about the Night-time Economy. People who work nights, in Northern
Industrial towns like Rotherham such as taxi-drivers, or who do shifts at fast-food
outlets tend to be predominately Asian men, and the kind of young girls who are
around at night, still out on the street are the vulnerable, lonely, troubled girls,
perhaps on drugs, perhaps on cheap alcohol perhaps just needing food who seek, who
need, the warmth and love that they cannot find at home, or elsewhere. So, when
the law of averages kicks in it is a small minority of a small minority that
are taking advantage of the girls chaotic lifestyles, for their own evil
purposes. Male power, simple and straightforward.

The author isn’t in any way denying that Asian men groomed
white girls; I think he is just trying to say that there was no racial or ‘religious’
motive. It wasn’t a jihad.

Its an interesting idea that I hadn’t heard before, so I
thought I would put it up here.
